So I'm still doing a lot of work on being body posi and it's been great though I still struggle as it's a journey. Anyway, my nutritionist showed me this today and it's pretty awesome.

I was just thinking about this thread today!! I have had some disconcertingly positive experiences w/ my body lately and it is leaving me confused but also nice-feeling. Bodies are really quite wonderful things.

ah thank you!! I appreciate that. I made it my profile pic on "the apps" and I have been getting nonstop attention and it is kind of alarming but also kind of cool.

I've spent today working through chapter 2 in "The Body Image Workbook". I determined to beat this voice in my head. I've lived enough of my life worrying about my appearance and what other people think of it. Too much. Yes, I'm totally faking it until I make it in terms of this stuff at this point but hopefully it'll help.

I've lost a cpl pounds and am in better shape than I've been in a while lately, and still it's hard to be body posi because it's impossible not to notice how much better the world treats me when I am thinner (nb. never been 'thin') and losing/keeping weight off is so draining 😥. Hard to just not worry about it and say 'well, fuck having noticeably more opportunities open to me at all times'. And it's hard to blame society because I'm just as judgemental as anyone out there. Reading this thread helps sometimes tho. Good luck y'all.

Have consistently done an ab workout with one of my best friends for the last 16 days. For a while I really, really was struggling cos my core is weak but I'm starting to be able to ratchet up the intensity. I've dropped five pounds, but it's less about that and getting in shape and feeling better about myself.
It's helping with so many things and I've never had an accountability partner so I may actually see this out.

That's great to hear. As I've heard someone say, it never gets easy, but it does get easier, and results come faster than you might expect.
